an amazing book ,written by an amazing women ,who another amazing woman wrote a song about ,being sung by another amazing woman ,I’m flabbergasted ,my flabber has never been so gasted .
Excellent! She knows it's a hard song to sing and she approached it rather carefully. I got a kick out of the closing expressions on her face. She gave kind of a "I did OK I guess." She did great!
I think AH's lower range is beautiful, the problem is that most of Wuthering Heights is right at the top of her range, so to my ear the tone is compromised
Been in love with Kate since 1979. Been in love with Aldous since discovering her two weeks ago. Now I've found this, and I really don't need anything else.
Solid performance, and the fact that she took it on is great. I'd bet a lot of people in the crowd didn't even know the song or hadn't heard it in ages. I only learned about Kate Bush recently. The performance sounds a bit echo-y whereas Kate used only a bit of reverb. Aldous is slowing it down a bit and going acoustic with only a piano in a lower key, so she has nothing to help her with those high notes. With a high pitched song like this, it's like they decided to increase the difficulty to "ULTRA HARDCORE" since she can't just stab at those notes with a faster tempo or rely on higher pitched backing music, she has to hit those notes and extend them. The piano being played at a lower key and a couple of bad notes were grating. Aldous can hit high notes, but she's stretching for them with what seems like her chest voice, whereas Kate seemed fairly effortless hitting them with her head voice. Just a difference in Vocal chords and a different way to sing the lyrics. I'm listening to their interviews side by side, and Kate's natural voice is slightly higher, but the tone is a bit different, and you can hear her shift into high notes in her voice really easily, whereas Aldous speaks more at an even tone. Honestly, I think Aldous was just having a bit of fun with this cover, and you can see at the end she's like "oh man, I hope I didn't just butcher that", lol! Nope, it was A-ok!
Interesting -in an earlier comment about a different song by AH I mentioned her music made me feel like I did with early Kate Bush stuff (Lionheart). So there you go 😁
Aldous does a nice job of this great song by Kate Bush. Her mugging diminishes the sincerity, but she is young. Her falsetto is sweet, but limited while Kate's showed glimmers of the deeper and wilder woman within.
Are you guys all deaf? This is not how you play Wuthering Heights on a piano. Her voice is pretty good but the piano is terrible. Also rhythm is not steady.
Such a talent - piano lacked a bit, even played two wrong chords, come on do better ! When Aldous stops messin about with the melodramtic stuff and acting crazy she will blow the world away.
@@blackwingvalleylover I think your mind was overly anticipating Aldous having the exact pitch/belting as Kate’s. i love and admire both the original and Aldous’ version. it is a cover after all
@@pablogates5355 I don't think my mind was doing anything like that. I just don't agree with you. Some songs just can't be reached by other performers. I didn't think this version was very good- out of her vocal range completely. I love Kate Bush but wouldnt expect an imitation of her.
Ouch! My ears! Brave attempt but sounding like a shopping mall distraction. Perhaps the low lighting and alcohol softened the crowd's reaction to this unrelievedly shrill reading. Kate had the chops, but not Aldous.
Rody, couldn't agree more. Has great power and talent I was looking forward to hearing her own version of the song, like Tori Amos cover all messed with and spooky, but she just tried to sing it the same and could not possibly sustain that ridiculously high note she started on.
@@pmbbmp open to praise but not criticism? Why not say to someone who next praises you, “You wouldn’t know nothing about that.” I get that criticism can be annoying and even hurtful. But if you confine yourself to praise what will you ever learn in order to grow and enhance your obvious talents?
@@pmbbmp my dastardly ways have been exposed. Sadly I cannot seek your forgiveness because, as you say, I am not for real. 🥲 On the plus side, you can now let go your need to respond so no more “Highlighted reply” awards to you. Best! ☺️
Sorry; This is out of her range . Too big a song . The only true artists that have laid it down ‘78 Kate Bush ‘80 Pat Benatar( my personal preference) many many artists just love the song . I believe it takes a long long time to have a operatic soprano to master this. I feel this is a stretch vocally but obviously a song so wonderful every soprano will give it their best. Love her other own music.
I’m sorry to be downer on Aldous, but seriously this is a shocking rendition of Kate Bush. Whilst Aldous Harding has done her own thing, and well at times, I certainly wouldn’t be applauding this performance at all 😫😬
an amazing book ,written by an amazing women ,who another amazing woman wrote a song about ,being sung by another amazing woman ,I’m flabbergasted ,my flabber has never been so gasted .
oh my god thats great!!
And "Bush" is slang for a fanny.
So many levels
Great insight
💞
I can never tell when she's serious. She's the the Andy Kaufman of Alt Folk music. I love her.
Great comparison to Kaufman.
I see Ron Mael in her mischievous glance....
Probably the only person who could do justice to Kate Bush
Umm i like Aldous but not nearly
Kate Bush was FAR better.
@@julianmach3192 its. a. cover.
@@amateurwave3593 Yes, I known that, but covers are not equals. Thats one is ugly bad! BDW I like Aldous Harding.
@@julianmach3192 lol just barely heard her on a university radio. The barrel, damn, imagining my man, blend are great. Any more you recommend?
Takes guts to take on that song.
Check out the blind girl on the voice who took it on. Raw talent but she def needs guidance. Still an amazing rendition from a very young girl.
Esp in London !
She sings this song like I sing it in the shower and just as bad. Haven't got the drunken crowd screams though.
AH is perfectly oddball for early KB
@@amateurwave3593 The voice is bullshit. All those singers are talentless and don’t reach the soul.
Been following her for a while. Always been a huge Bush fan too. Now this. I'm a happy bunny now. Bounce bounce.
I knew a bunny and you are no bunny.
Classic white male, pretending to be a rabbit in an attempt to trick us all
huge bush fan
The best new artist for years. Her originals are amazing but if she did one cover I can't think of a better one for her
Williteverbethesameagain am with you every step
This makes sense. I love KB and I recently found Aldous ❤
Excellent! She knows it's a hard song to sing and she approached it rather carefully. I got a kick out of the closing expressions on her face. She gave kind of a "I did OK I guess." She did great!
Wow. That takes guts. I'm glad somebody is still appreciating the great Kate Bush. Would love to hear her do this with a full band.
In a London pub no less
@@natashab3412A London pub, right ? She’s got a titanium pair.
Owns it, as Kate does with covers of others work. Aldous is incredibly brilliant. LOVE.
Aldous is awesome. At the end of this you wouldn't know whether to laugh, clap or do both. She's brilliant & hilarious.
Brave to try this. One of the only people who could come close but she doesn’t have the lower range that Kate was blessed with.
I think AH's lower range is beautiful, the problem is that most of Wuthering Heights is right at the top of her range, so to my ear the tone is compromised
simply beautiful!
This lady is a gem, I love her music, her style, her wonderful facial expressions and beautiful humility ❤
Been in love with Kate since 1979. Been in love with Aldous since discovering her two weeks ago. Now I've found this, and I really don't need anything else.
I love Kate Bush and feared the worst, but then when I listened I was blown away. Aldous nailed it!! And now I'm following her too.
Mesmerizing-true artist that earns my respect. The Craft committed
New legend paying homage to solid legend, Kate Bush.❤️
I just love her! I think she pulled it off. I haven't got this excited about a performer in a long time!
New Years Day 2021. Hearing this for the first time. Holy Shit! Just got me right square in the feels. God damn!
WOW she's amazing!
So excited for her to perform with Lorde !
are they performing together?
yes! Aldous announced it herself.
OMG! this will be epic
ikr! it will be on Later with Jools Holland I think )
2 great artists smashed together
WOW… ❤️
Aldous gets zero nourishment from applause. I'm so smitten with that.
beautiful!
With this cover I am in awe of Aldous Harding and everything else so far...what a triumph.
..what a great surprise! top
Spectacular...absolutely F**king fantastic.
Wow! Never thought I'd see anyone - other than Kate - do justice to this.
No. She struggles and she knows it. Doesn't mean I don't admire her less.
wow...what an excellent cover of a great song.
I love you and Kate and this song.
Love this performer, I have all her music. No one does Kate Bush as Kate Bush does Kate Bush, but attempts are always endearing.
Hmm odd

Love to see that live some day
Live to see that love some day.
WOW!
Spot on 👏👏👏
Best ever cover of that song,nailed it,
I cannot help but play this video once a month until the day I die.
Very difficult to sing this song, Kate goes up in the treble, very high, so unique !
But Aldous deserves it very well.
superb
Ahead of the curve as always!
best covering of
I knew it.
I think I can die happy now.
I hope you not deaded happy two year agoe and now you enjoy listen "Designer"
I had no idea that she had these kinds of vocal chops
thank you!
An entire album of Aldous doing Kate Bush cover versions is overdue.
awe-some
Superbe !
Props to her for having the stones to cover this. I don't love it, but how many people could even possibly do a passing fair version of this song?
Interesting -in an earlier comment about a different song by AH I mentioned her music made me feel like I did with early Kate Bush stuff (Lionheart). So there you go 😁
Wow
Pianist didn't quite know the song. But the singer certainly did.
A couple of stares from Aldous to the pianist says it all and it wasn't her adorable silly faces 😂
@@yamilbermudez73 ha!
Amazing!!!
What a phenomenal interpretation
This is amazing!!
Official proof that there is a divine power. The voice of an angel crying.
AMAZING!!!!
This literally brought tears to my eyes.
Great cover, not many can sing as good as Kate
Fucking glorious
is she singing this in an irish accent? I like it tho
😮
Wow. "Königin der Nacht" in Rock.
What’s worse than recording a performance on your mobile? That dude infront doing it vertically
sounds like kate bush imitating kate bush
Aldous does a nice job of this great song by Kate Bush. Her mugging diminishes the sincerity, but she is young. Her falsetto is sweet, but limited while Kate's showed glimmers of the deeper and wilder woman within.
Ring0fSaturn so many back handed compliments.
Let's hear you sing it Gandalf XD XD XD
Simon Firth 🙈
Mugging? By one infantile comment, you've shown an unfamiliarity with being able to read sincerity.
She seems like Scarlett Johansson
YES!
I like some of Aldous Harding's songs a lot but I don't think she should have tried this yet. It reminds me of Wing of south park fame :-)
Inaccurate lyrics.
k
She's my AI girlfriend
uncanny
edit: 3:36 lmao
Et à quoi ça sert ?...
Schade, hier wirkt sie sehr angestrengt. Ihre eigenen Songs kommen deutlich besser rüber.
Sorry,
but only Kate
can sing
that.
Isn't a question
of interpretation,
it's about the
unique "metal"
of a human
voice.
the pianist was out of key. real shame to murder Aldous' amazing performance.
Nicht schlecht - aber trotzdem kein Vergleich zum explodierenden Stimmvolumen des Originals. Kate ist Kate - nichts geht da drüber!
Are you guys all deaf? This is not how you play Wuthering Heights on a piano. Her voice is pretty good but the piano is terrible. Also rhythm is not steady.
the pianist is fucking it up for sure.

Jolly Goode it’s facial art
I am really Love whith aldous, but she did not have that`s particular kind of magic or madness, don`t now, Anyway, everyone for herself
I love Aldous and Kate but this is not a good rendition, her voice sounds strained and her expression at the end said it all.
Nope
I love Kate Bush and I love Aldous Harding, but this is not good.
No one comes close to the Kate Bush original! Aldous needs to stick to her own songs and writing she's much more than a cover.
why so negative
Get a new pianist!
I love Aldous, but no
why?
@@pablogates5355 Because this version is high and screechy and hurts one's ears a bit. Because Kate has a very high, unattainable voice.
@@blackwingvalleylover I think your mind was overly anticipating Aldous having the exact pitch/belting as Kate’s.
i love and admire both the original and Aldous’ version. it is a cover after all

Ha ha! It's okay, you see, because her fans are tone-deaf.
Disagree

Bloody awful!
Sorry; This is out of her range . Too big a song .
The only true artists that have laid it down ‘78 Kate Bush
‘80 Pat Benatar( my personal preference) many many artists just love the song . I believe it takes a long long time to have a operatic soprano to master this. I feel this is a stretch vocally but obviously a song so wonderful every soprano will give it their best. Love her other own music.
